... sole is 50% smooth! A work mate that runs marathons has recommended Hoka One One's to me. Reviews look good, and I need a cushioning shoe, due to being a terrible heel striker, old knees and general bad form. Anyone had experience with these or heard good/bad feedback on them?

Re: My Lad Wants a Dirt Bike
Being fresh to bikes I'd get him a four stroke to start with. Being a slight lad I reckon a Honda XR 125 would be a good start. Those XR's are bullet proof and have enough power to keep a beginner excited without being a handful. ...
